Well,
as they say, records are meant to be broken. Ask Hank Aaron about that...or
Jimmy Brown. Or Mark Spitz Or the people who mixed the previous
record-setting pink margarita. But, in the case of the massive margarita, it
was for a good cause. Rosangel Tequila, in partnership with the 30th
anniversary of Las Vegas Mexican restaurant Ricardo's, celebrated breast cancer
awareness by creating the world's largest pink margarita. Ricardo and
Tenquila teamed up to make
a giant margarita that would make a
total of 81355 -12 oz pink
infused margaritas. It weighed a total of 7039 gallons .
To break this record Ricardo's used a 14 ft. tall 10 ft. wide tank, 4,600 liters of ROSANGEL Tequila (1,215 gallons), 5,000 gallons of spring water, 750 quarts of Kelly Y Gonzalez lime juice, 750 gallons of La Paz Sweet and Sour, 1,500 liters of triple sec (396 gallons), and 20 pounds of salt. Scott Schiller, brand manager for ROSANGEL said that there was nothing more rewarding than being able to involve one’s profession with charity. He said that it was great to give back and to see people enjoying themselves. Ricardo owner Bob Ansara sounded extremely pleased and voiced that it took them more than a year in planning alone and it was indeed exhilarating to make the event get into history. He added that they were grateful to celebrate 30 years of business and could not have asked a better way to celebrate with their community.
Susan G. Komen Southern Nevada is so grateful for the generosity of Bob Ansara. Eighteen months ago, he had this grand
vision and never once lost sight of the tremendous charitable aspect of this
event. Komen added that they
were honoured to have been chosen
as the recipient of such benevolence
The
$60,000 marg, made with 7,800 gallons of pink tequila -- for National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month -- was later served at the Flamingo Rd. eatery, along
with a giant taco-eating contest.
The event was staged to honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and a portion of the proceeds benefitted Susan G. Komen for the Cure of Southern Nevada.
The largest
pink margarita weighed 7039 gallons and
was set by Ricardo’s Mexican Restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of
America on October 17, 2010.
